The
drums in a band
The
drummer is one of the most important musicians in the band even
though it is traditional that they get a lot of stick from the rest
of the band members as they are not really being regarded as a real
musician. Their role is the driving force of the band, the time
controllers and time keeper. Ideally the drummer and bass player
need to form a solid rhythm section of the band. To become proficient
takes years of dedicated practice.
As
complex patterns and fills need to be executed with feel, accuracy
and confidence. The drummer needs to possibly tune their drum kit
to get the best drum sound. The position where the drum is struck
can make a big difference to the sound. The drums will probably
take more time than any other instrument in the group, because the
drums is so important get right and the final sound is so critical.
